The problem here is that, even though you bring Liferea to the front,
there are still unread messages. The indicators will go away when you
mark the messages as read. This is because, unlike in an IM client,
messages aren't automatically marked as read when you open the window.

>From a technical perspective, the way it's implemented now, performing
any action that can update the unread message count causes Liferea to
rebuild all indicators. So, if you have 5 unread messages in a feed, and
read one, you get an indicator for 4.

There are in fact two more minor problems in this patch:
- The number of indicators isn't limited, so 100 unread feeds mean 100 menu 
items. The specification recommends at most 6.
- 

Also, upstream doesn't like this patch because it uses an Ubuntu-
specific library, in Ubuntu-specific ways. So we'll apparently have to
carry the divergence until the indicator libraries become part of
standard GNOME.
